(qep'a' 2024): The phrase {qam Do Duj jIrmoH} does not mean "pedal a bicycle", it means "rotate a bicycle", that is, spin it around somehow or other. The verb for riding a bicycle (or motorcycle or horse, where the passenger is controlling, to one degree or another, the motion of the vehicle or means of conveyance), is {ngIt}.
